1. Ordinary Portland Cement 33 Grade

1. Used up to M20 Grade of Concrete
2. Used in Plastering, Flooring, masonry.

2. Ordinary Portland Cement 43 Grade

1. Widely used in concrete grades up to M-30, precast elements.
2. Used for Plastering, Flooring, etc.,

3. Ordinary Portland Cement 53 Grade

1. Widely used general-purpose cement
2. For concrete grade higher than M-30, PSC works, bridge, roads, multi-storied buildings et

4. Portland Slag Cement

1. Exposed to harsh environments, such as wastewater treatment and marine applications
2. High-strength concrete, such as high-rise structures or 100-year service life bridges

5. Portland Pozzolana Cement

1. Hydraulic structures like dams, & retaining walls
2. Marine structures
3. Mass concrete works- like bridge footings under aggressive conditions
4. Masonry mortar and plastering

• The Portland Pozzolana Cement makes concrete more impermeable and denser as compared to Ordinary Portland Cement.
• The long-term strength (90 days and above) of Pozzolana cement is better compared to OPC.

6.Coloured Cement/White Cement

• As the name indicates, it is white in color.
• Chemical composition and physical properties meet the specification of ordinary portland cement.

7. Sulphate Resisting Cement

8. Low Heat Portland Cement

9. Rapid Hardening Cement

1. Used in Repairs
2. Used where the speed of construction is required

1. It’s setting time is less than ordinary portland cement
2. It acquires early strength.

10. Hydrophobic Portland Cement

1. These cement are used in the construction of dams, spillways, under-water constructions.
2. It can also be used in cold weather conditions.

11. Extra Rapid Hardening Cement

• It is used where formwork has to be removed as early as possible in order to reuse it.
• It is used where high early strength is required.
• It is generally used for constructing road pavements, where it is important to open the road to traffic quickly.

12. Quick Setting Cement

• It is used in under-water construction.
• It is also used in rainy & cold weather conditions.
• Where quick strength is needed in a short span of time

• This product has the unique characteristic of being able to be sculpted and molded as it sets.
• The set time for this product is 10-15 minutes.

13. Super Sulphated Cement

• The foundations where the chemically aggressive condition exists
• Used In marine works
• RCC pipes used in sulfate bearing soils.

• The heat of hydration is very lower
• It is resistant to sulfate attack

14. Portland Pozzolana Cement (Fly ash based)

• Used in Plastering, Flooring, grouting of cable ducts in PSC works, etc.
• Usually, a place where low compressive strength concrete can use.

15. Portland Pozzolana Cement (Calcined based)

• Used in Plastering, Flooring, grouting of cable ducts in PSC works, etc.
• Usually, a place where low compressive strength concrete can use.

16. Air Entraining Cement

• It forms microscopic air bubbles during the mixture.
• It decreases the strength of concrete.

17. Masonry Cement

18. Expansive Cement

• Grouting anchor bolts.
• Grouting machine foundation

19. Oil Well Cement

20. Rediset Cement

• Very high- Early strength concrete and mortar
• Emergency Repairs.
• Construction between tides.
• Palletisation of Iron ore dust.

• The sulfate resistance of the cement is poor.
• The rate of shrinkage is fast, but the total shrinkage is similar to that of ordinary PCC.
